Condition

The bowl is in very good overall condition. There are some expected light scratches to the surface glaze on the interior. There are a few typical imperfections in the glaze, including small flakes near the rim, one with possibly some filling, and pin-prick iron spots on the interior. There is some light wear in one area to the glaze on the underside and minute original cuts in the biscuit under the glaze, visible predominantly near the foot. The glaze is particularly tactile and smooth.
